A Nebraska inmate has filed a contempt motion in federal court, saying state Department of Correctional Services officials have reneged on a settlement to accommodate the religious and cultural needs of Native American inmates.

In the 2005 settlement, signed by a federal judge, prison officials agree to allow Native American inmates time for religious education and worship ceremonies and use traditional, ceremonial foods such as fry bread, buffalo, corn and “berry dish” in their ceremonies.

The motion filed Monday by Michael Joseph Sims says state prison leaders have not allowed those ceremonial foods since the agreement was signed in 2005, among other things.

State Corrections Department spokeswoman Dawn-Renee Smith declined to comment on the motion or answer questions about whether Native American inmates are given ceremonial foods.
